Aug 22 Forgive Us For Being a Tease...Please?

We've been having a ton of fun over at the EHQ as of late, especially during Exprayeriment #8, our Forgiveness Haiku Party -- otherwise known as "Hai Forgive Ku...and Myself, Too."

We feel the forgiveness-themed Haiku we amassed during week #8 is so good, in fact, that it deserves a larger audience. So, we decided to share it with all of our readers (that would be you, Qrickets) because we love you.

And -- full disclosure -- because we wrote all the Haiku ourselves. (With the exception of one...but it was written by a family member, so technically, it too, is one of ours.)

And one further confession: we're sharing the Haiku because we totally want to tease those of you who have yet to commit to the EHQ. So if you've been thinking about signing up, or have been wondering what goes on inside the secret clubhouse, here's the tease:

You'll always have a place in my life - you're the proof of how much I've changed

You hit the windshieldyour wings like gold fire and Iforgot how to swerve

It's called practice but it's more like rehearsal for a play yet unpenned
